Evening Aura - a lovely frosted creamy peach. i picked this up. Expensive Pink - i already have this and i adore it. yummy shimmery peachy pink. i like to pair this w/ bronze or romp in the crease. good stuff. Femme-Fi - blah, another highlight color... Black ore - the only solar bits worth picking up imo (and my mua also agreed). a great mix of black/gold. it seemed to go on with less fallout that the other solar bits. a define keeper sunpower had a ridiculous amount of fallout. scatterays & bronzescape had less fallout that sunpower... bronzescape was noticeably beautiful but i have more that enough colors in that range. Pleasureseeker - nice sheer peach w/ a hint of gold shimmer. i also picked this up. Electro - hmmm... orange. tried it on. didn't like it. looked extremely dated/old school (just like an older lady i saw wearing wearing it in a dept store). the other l/s were ok. nothing too exciting. same with the l/g... naked space was indeed beige. i liked it but i get a similar look w/ fresh brew & saplicious. X-Rocks - not bad at all. a little darker that i like my bushes to be. Spaced Out - on me it looks like light flush msf (which i already have). i definitely enjoyed checking out these collections. the colors and the looks they created were great. now bring on cool heat

First of all...one of the most exciting things for me was that I hung out with 2 of the awesomess MAC artists!! (MAC wasn't even busy yet!?) and, they were GORGEOUS & SWEET! We chatted about everything...just like with you guys
Anyhoo, I'm glad I got everything that I ordered! Pleaserseeker, imo is beautiful, soft, pretty peach. All the shadows met MY expectations including Femmi Fi - exactly the shade I was looking for. The others, just as pretty - but I love those kinda shades. Spaced Out - Subtle, but beautiful. If you already have a fave. peach, I'm not sure you'll want to get this. But, it is pretty. However, the shade really works with the whole collection. I did not get any of the lipglasses...just didn't excite me...I'm lovin the Dazzleglasses more. They did not have the exfoliators either - BOO! I did buy the 311 lip brush to use/try as an eyeliner brush as one very talented Specktralite showed us in her FOTD. Oh, & for the Solar Bits...love the Scatterrays on...its dramatic, but pretty! I put it over some deep browns/peach. Fallout didn't seem as bad as black ore. *smiles at SMMY* *note to gigglegirl* - you'll be safe with Evening Aura - it will show up. It is a very soft but very pretty light to medium peach. Pretty! |

I wanted to mention a few things too. Naked Space is NOT peach on me. There is no peach/orange tone at all. It was BEIGE. Seriously, reminded me of Bonus Beat from Heatherette. I know all of the swatches I have seen it shows more peach (which I would have loved) but it wasn't anywhere close on me. Pink Grapefruit, on the other hand, showed mostly a dark coral orange, with not much pink. Sci Fi Delity l/s is very pretty and not as dark as it looks in pictures. It is a midtone shade, and will be wearable for alot of people (unless you are like me and are afraid of such shades). Ok, I think that's it, unless I think of something else... |

Scatterrays are the prettist ones just looking at them in the jar. I think that they're more forgiving fallout-wise because they're so light. I know others disagree, but I wouldn't use these without a base - all that glitter needs a little glue, ya know. |
